Words to describe rice

So, I sometimes take online surveys just for the fun of it. They tell me I can win cash, but in the year or so that I’ve taken part in these surveys, I’ve never once won a dollar.

I’m a person just like you!LANCE: …RICE: Ah, I understand what people with your lifestyle need… watch as I confidently perform this backflip as proof of my humanity.LANCE: …RICE: Crap, that damn can opener caught my plastic and now I’m leaking.LANCE: …
